Book Reviews of Meditating With Children-The Art of Concentration and Centering : A Workbook on New Educational Methods Using Meditation
Book Review: a little too new age-y for today's reader
Summary: 2 Stars
I had been looking forward to reading this book for years, as it seems to be one of the only publications that deals with teaching children to meditate. The book is well-organized, with adequate introduction before launching into meditation and visualization exercises which are followed by worksheets and question/answer sessions.
The book does not seem to have made the jump from 1975 (1st ed.) through 1994 (2nd ed.) and now into its third edition in 2002. It retains countless new age artifacts, such as terms like "the Source within" and "the Higher Self" which I do not understand. The language that the author uses will likely not make sense to most readers from either a Christian or Buddhist perspective, and those readers may struggle to pull something useful out of her writings. In an attempt to present a teaching that is free of religious dogma, the author may have created a book that promotes some sort of new age spiritualism that currently finds few followers in the world.
The book is interesting and ambitious, but I would hesitate to use any of these meditation exercises (spaceship meditation, temple of light meditation, gravity and radiation meditation especially) with my own children. Better to teach a few simple meditation approaches that are grounded on thousand-year-old traditions (Zen or Tong Len for example), rather than a large number of exercises that may be interesting to kids but have no proven value.
